I believe it is most likely a hardware configuration issue.

I had a laser mouse that was hard to control. I also recall that those
laptop trackpads can also be hard to control and that they can open
applications as you accidently rub the trackpad making a click without
realizing it. Presently, I use an old school PS/2 serial mouse with the
ball. Have you tried using a basic mouse?
